AnyScam™ Scam Search & Reporting

Twelve Years of Data

For more than twelve years, scam victims and volunteers reported the phone numbers, email addresses, names, and profiles that scammers used against them on AnyScam.com. That work now lives here, as the SCARS Institute AnyScam Database, rebuilt to make it easier to search, safer to use, and open to new reports.

Before you trust someone you met online, search for their phone number, email address, name, or profile link. You’ll see whether it has been reported to SCARS Institute, how often, and when. You can also read real messages that scammers have sent, with victims’ details removed, so you can learn to recognize their words before they reach you.

Help Protect Others

If a scammer contacted you, report their profile link, email address, or phone number. SCARS Institute staff review every report before it appears in the database.

Please keep in mind that a listing is a report, not proof. Scammers steal real people’s names and photos, and phone numbers pass from one owner to the next, so an innocent person can appear here. If something listed here belongs to you and is listed in error, use the removal request form at the bottom of this page, and we’ll review it. And if nothing turns up in your search, that doesn’t mean someone is safe: scammers change their numbers, addresses, and names constantly.

Messages from a scammer · 2018

28 years,5:3" tall, 116 pounds,38C bust, brown eyes with red hair,STD/DD free. I'm open to meeting an experienced Dom, Dom/Domme who enjoys mental, physical and sexual exploration, training and use of very naughty but nice slave girl. I'm not into cyber fantasies or putting on CAM shows for wankers or sending anymore pictures. The question of proof is just a way to get pics or cam shows (So if you need proof, I'll only take a picture with my username/handle written on a paper and send to you one time), no need asking for more and don't bother writing if your mind will/is filled of doubt. I'm a highly sexual person, not shy, nor do I downplay my intelligence, desires or need to be used and treated as such. Also, I have no preference of race, I'm not a racist so able to serve any race. I enjoy a good mind fuck as much as a physical one as I understand submission and domination is a thing …

I'm a highly sexual person, not shy, nor do I downplay my intelligence, desires or need to be used and treated as such. Also, I have no preference of race, I'm not a racist so able to serve any race. I enjoy a good mind fuck as much as a physical one as I understand submission and domination is a thing of the mind. I'm about service, and humiliation, not getting fucked. Sex just happens to be the end result of some of this. I can enjoy sex, but as a service not as a pleasure for myself. I see an orgasm as a bonus, not my right. None of that means I don't enjoy sex in the moment, with men or women, but it won't be me that initiates it.

I'm seeking a 24/7, 365 full time live in LTR position. I am a TPE slave and i am hoping to find a Master or Mistress to serve 24/7 as a permanent slave. Quality and trusting relationships don't magically happen overnight or just materialize as a result of a few unsolicited email exchanges. That's just not reality. Also, if you start the conversation off with lies, insults, deceit or 1/2 truths, it's usually is a precision for failure, so why take that approach? I'm college educated, but unemployed. What I seek is to experience total submission and use. Objectified and used hourly, daily etc. Required to serve, please, pleasure and be used as my owner so desires and given limits that he desires me to have.

Decía llamarse Christian Horn,y decía vivir en Berlín
Yo le creí,`porque en Ourtime.es,dicen que los perfiles están verificados.
Ahora creo que en realidad es de Accra
Me envio DNI falso, con foto de Steve G Jones, contrato de arrendamiento falso,me dijo que me alquilaba su casa de Berlín, en Viktoria Luise Platz 7 , que me alquilaba por 3 años.
Por ese motivo le hice dos transferencias ,para Zacharias Paourou,que me dijo era su manager.
Que me entregaría las llaves el 30 de julio,en Barcelona,pero no lo hizo.
Fotos del Dr Steve G jones,decía que eran suyas.

I am 60 years old, to me age is just numbers. I studied Architecture at Cambridge University. After graduation, I worked with a multi national firm for sometime before going for an extensive course on interior architecture in Harvard, after which I started my own business in 1984.

Since the sudden death of my wife, I felt as if the world had fallen apart.

Good Afternoon ---VICTIM REDACTED--- , I'm sorry it took me so long to write you, my computer has been messing up and i was busy cleaning the garage much earlier, I hope your day is going well? it's nice getting to know you, to be honest you seem like really a sweet woman with a good heart and knows what she want.
I really like what I know about you. you are one of a kind. I am so full of love and affection that I have been waiting for such a special woman, I have never let my standards down even when I was told they were too high, I just prayed that someday I would find all the wonderful things that I wanted and I found you and i'm so proud of that. I believe that God has a reason for everything that happens in our life.

I want you to know that i don't let people into my life easily, nor do I let them out of it, I am true and loyal, I'm a quiet, kind, loyal. A great meaning for me is a human's soul. Circle of my interests is various. I like the literature, music, and cinema. personality traits are; calm, honest, kind, loyal, flexible, elegant, sociable, sensitive, gentle, cheerful, optimistic, romantic, To be honest I'm looking for a partner to be happy with for the rest of my life.
I am a man of integrity and a family provider. I am kind in heart and tender of soul. I am proud in the quality of what I do and responsible. I believe in taking care of a woman and treating her as a gift that God meant her to be. I also understand that making love is not just a physical act of two bodies. I would want someone that is kind, caring, loving, enjoys life to the fullest, one that knows there is stress in life..but doesn't let it run her life, one that isn't afraid to show and express their feelings, someone that agrees to disagree at times.
